>(hint: when copying files and dragging them to a tab the focus of the
>window changes and you can drop your file there).

Isn’t that the Folder-pop-up patent that Apple has?

If it isn’t obvious tabs are broken in Epiphany, then it’s because you don’t use more than at most 3 or 4. They disappear, they don’t shrink – in fact, the way that Epiphany tabs works, there is only ONE use case better than say Firefox (or just about any browser/tabbed app) – wait for it – closing many tabs quickly. That’s the only one. The only. And this is even from the mailing list discussions when some of the devs tried to find excuses for why it worked like it did.

It’s hard to point to one single thing even, it’s all broken in every respect, from scrolling to no middle click to disappearing to no scaling to… well, all of it. And the Epiphany devs just say “noone should use more than 5 anyways” (also on mailing list).

There just is no understanding WHY firefox tabs are so succesful. Or IE. Or Opera. Or any but Epiphany.

I think the key here is getting the tabs working with DnD. If you could get the path breadcrumbs to accept dropps that would also be an immense improvement.

My mail usability problem with Nautilus is this: There is nowhere to drop files in a window like this (http://www.chestud.chalmers.se/~kb01bese/currentfolder.png) to get them into the current dir and not one of the subfolders.
I havn’t tested your new compact collumn view yet, but from the screenshot it looks like it will have space between items for dropping files. Nice!!

Good luck with the exam!

TO cneumair:

I’m sorry for ask you if the new tab function will do to nautilus more heavyweight and memory consuming ?

Best regards

> How does one help get into development? Where do the developers discuss?

We usually discuss technical details and architectural decisions on the development mailing list:
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/nautilus-list/

Bugzilla is also used for discussion:
